Welcome to LuckyJoe's Place. This is where I post pics of me and my sons' latest Wargaming projects. The newest thing here is Mantic's "Kings of War", a 28mm Tabletop Fantasy Wargame. There's also Zombies and Survivors, 15mm Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Pirates and Old West, and some 28mm as well. We also have Dungeons and Dragons 3d dungeons and furniture.

I finally painted some Rebel Minis Earth Force Marines, mainly the Earth Force Marines Infantry, Heavy Weapons, and Gun Teams. I really like these minis. They are richly detailed and just plain cool looking. I'm planning on using them as ground pounders with my Combat Wombat armor. I also have some of the new Rebel Minis Armored Troops which I need to get painted, as well as a couple of the Infiltrator Cycles. Pic below is a tripod mounted autocannon and spotter from the Gun TeamNext one is a couple of EF Marines with missile launchers.Here's a couple of EF Marines with autocannons.Here's a couple of EF Marines for security for the Gun Teams Here's the sniper with his spotter.

I just did a basic paintjob on these guys but I'm pleased with the way they look. Probably because the minis are so nice that they practically paint themselves. Thanks for looking.

Hi, everyone. I just painted some new Combat Wombat Miniatures vehicles. Scotty even threw in one of the new Saracen IFVs as a freebie.Pic below shows the new Saracen GEV IFV. I really like the way this one looks. I made one small conversion using a different gun barrel. Then I added a wire antenna and a decal.

Pic below shows a LAV GEV APC. Also added a wire antenna and a decal. I have a platoon of these.

Final pic is a Combat Wombat Heavy Grav Tank. This time I added a wire antenna and 2 decals.

I really like the Combat Wombat vehicles. Great detail and cool design at an excellent price. Thanks for looking.

Hi, folks. I finally was able to get my new Combat Wombat Miniatures Bullfrog Lander and pod painted. This is one of the new sculpts that CW just released. I saw pictures of it on his website in the "Skunk Works" where he shows pics of his upcoming projects and have been waiting for it to come out. I went with a simple mettallic pj with a black-wash. I figure ships going in and out of the atmosphere probably don't have much paint, plus it's a lot easier paint job. :)

Pic below shows the Bullfrog Lander with the pod in place, with a Rebel Minis Earth Force Marine for scale.Pic below shows the Bullfrog Lander with the pod removed, with a Rebel Minis Earth Force Marine for scale.

Final pic shows the Pod with a Combat Wombat Command Bunker and Rebel Mini Earth Force Marine. Scotty from Combat Wombat gave me that bunker as a freebie with this order, as well as one of the new Saracen IFVs.

I really like the Bullfrog Lander and Pod. It's perfectly sized to go with the Command Bunker, too. One of my projects is to make a little forward camp from the Pods and bunkers, with some CW Defense Turrets also. I'm also planning on getting some of the Atlas GEV hauling vehicles to use to move the camp around.

About a year ago there was a thread on TMP by JRacel featuring some 15mm Sci Buildings made from electrical boxes. I have revisited this thread a lot since and finally got around to making some of my own. Mine are pretty much just copies of his. I used some components from a Platformer set, like his, and some Hirst Arts Sci Fi bitz, as well as some bits from The Scene UK. These things were pretty inexpensive, the boxes cost between 2 and 4 dollars, the Scene UK pieces were very reasonable, and the HA bits I already had. Here's some pics:Pic below shows the orange building with mainly Hirst Arts bits. There is a nice radar dish from The Scene UK on the roof. I've left it removable so I can use it elsewhere.Pic below shows a Platformer door piece.Pic below with vents from The Scene UK and the radar dish.

I really enjoyed making these. Thanks a lot to JRacel for the cool idea and pics in his TMP thread.

Hi, everybody. I just posted some pics of some 15mm.co.uk Shia Khan that I'm using as Orksis (Orks in Space). I've only painted 6 so far, but they are nice minis with great detail that are fun to paint. I also repainted a Mutant Chronicles Vulkan's Fist Battlesuit that I'm using as a Killa Kan/Walker. I got a couple of them from Fantasy Flight Games during their recent big sale and 3 AT43 Red Blok Lieutenant Dragomira battlesuits as well.

Hi, folks. I recently got a platoon of Combat Wombat Miniatures Centurion Medium GEV Tanks. These are beautiful models, with outstanding detail. They even came with over a dozen pieces of stowage to attach to the hulls, hatch covers, and 6 rare earth magnets. I decided to mount them on some home-made flying stands made from pieces of Clix bases and nails (I was out out of bailing wire and spit) :). I mounted them at different heights and angles. I took pics of them with some Rebel Miniatures Earth Force Marines. I'll also use them with the new Rebel Minis Earth Force Armored Troops Here's some pics:Pic below shows the Tanks deployed on my 2x2 foot Zuzzy mat with some 15mm I've got some more Combat Wombat vehicles coming: a heavy Grav tank, 3 LAV GEV APCs and one of the brand new Bullfrog Lander. I had an idea for making a forward camp with some fo the Combat Wombat Defensive Turrets, extra pods from the Lander, and a command bunker, maybe with a wall suurounding the camp, made from Hirst Arts sci fi bricks.
